Congrats on your wonderful Zullo!

Thank you for posting this pic set, it is nicely done. There really isn't that much out there about these fine racing bikes.

I have two at the moment, a Criterium and a Sprint.

A very close friend rides a Special. I am first in line to buy his as well, as this brand has become a bit of an obsession for me.

I really love the way these ride, especially my Sprint.

Here's a pic before we started the renovation last summer.



I took off the 600 rear derailleur, even though it performed beautifully, and put on a Gran Sport. I rode it this way until yesterday, when we started to rip her down.

This winter, I am installing a very nice Super Record gruppo that a Serotta forum member offered me. With great fortune, I picked up a Mavic SSC/Record wheelset from a friend's attic for future considerations.

I also picked up some help from Tiziano Zullo in the form of a decal set, as the original blew off in the wind! Haven't received these yet, but I remain hopeful they will appear in the mail soon.

In addition, Cyclomondo has a very nice repro set that I ordered for my Criterium.

Here's another pic or three of the Sprint. Sorry for the grime.

I'll post pics when the Sprint and Criterium are finished.







As to Austin being a Zullo hotbed, so were the Twin Cities.

One of the finest racing shops in the Midwest, Grand Performance, stocked these as well.

I have seen a half dozen of these Zullos in this area, and they all came from this fabulous shop.

I have additional pics of the Sprint on my Flickr, but I haven't changed the settings on the Criterium pics.

If any should care!

edit: Here is a link to a "very helpful" foto essay of a 1978 Zullo Special.
